## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

| **Exapro Scraper** ◄── you are here | [Resale.info Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/resale-scraper) | [Machineseeker Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/machineseeker-scraper) | [Machineryline Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/machineryline-scraper) | [Troostwijk Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/troostwijk-scraper) | [Surplex Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/surplex-scraper) |

Extract used machinery listings from **exapro.com** and regional domains (`.fr`, `.de.com`, `.cz`, `.ru`, `.pl`, …) into clean JSON datasets on Apify. Supports category URLs, direct product pages, and text search via Exapro's Luigi's Box backend — with `listings` mode for fast catalog scans and `details` mode for technical specs, descriptions, and image galleries.

Cloudflare-protected pages are handled with `curl_cffi` Chrome 120 JA3 fingerprint emulation. No headless browser overhead — lightweight HTTP requests at high concurrency.

### When to use this Actor

Use the **Exapro Scraper** when you need European used machinery listings with deep technical specs, product descriptions, images, and multi-language regional domain support.

For Resale.info listings, use the [Resale.info Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/resale-scraper). For Machineseeker / Maschinensucher inventories, use the [Machineseeker Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/machineseeker-scraper). For excavators, trucks, and agricultural equipment, use the [Machineryline Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/machineryline-scraper). For industrial auctions, use [Troostwijk](https://apify.com/crawloop/troostwijk-scraper) or [Surplex](https://apify.com/crawloop/surplex-scraper).

### Key Features

- **Universal language and domain support** — Feed URLs from any regional Exapro site; localized fields, currencies, and formatting are resolved automatically.
- **Direct search API integration** — Text queries hit Exapro's Luigi's Box backend for fast, paginated, localized results without browser automation.
- **Two extraction modes** — `listings` for card-level specs, titles, pricing, and country; `details` for PDP galleries, technical spec tables, and descriptions.
- **Cloudflare WAF bypass** — `curl_cffi` Chrome 120 impersonation for reliable access at scale.
- **No headless browser overhead** — Highly concurrent, resource-friendly HTTP extraction.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
